So, a good daughter who happens to have a card-making arsenal at her disposal is obligated to make a birthday card for her Mom, right? Even if her stamping mojo is in the dump, right? Yeah... that's what I thought. Well, mojo in the dump or not I had to come up with something. So, to get my Mom's birthday card made recently, I took some inspiration from one of my favorite stampers, and CASE'd this card from Kay Miller.

Here's my version. Not nearly as cute, but my Mom loved it, so that's all that matters!

The Large Desert Bouquet stamp set and matching Die-Namics from My Favorite Things are just so fun to work with! I might just sit one day and stamp a bunch of these flowers in all colors, just to be able to throw them on a card like this, and have it made in a snap! I used a variety of hybrid inks for the design, and added some shading to the two biggest flowers with a Copic marker. The sentiment, from Birthday Wishes & Balloons was stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink.

Yes, I think I definitely just need to sit and stamp a whole garden of these flowers! :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Many, MANY thanks to everyone who bought stamps and dies from me recently! Now if I could just find the time to get some more things listed... stay tuned! (And there are still some great items to be had... check out my sale page!)﻿

Hi there! Wow, Jodi has some purty colors up on the Color Throwdown blog today! I couldn't resist playing along with my former teammates to make this quick birthday card for a co-worker...

I think I got this sweet Pineapple Panache stamps and matching die from Lil' Inker Designs way back before Christmas, and am finally using them today. Now that I got started, you might be seeing a lot more pineapples from me...it's just too cute! I stamped the texture on the pineapple with Versamark ink, then embossed with gold, and added some gold flecks of color, too. My background was done with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers distress inks... I wish I'd gotten the darker color just a little more teal. Maybe I'll just have some fun later and create a second version of this card!

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget about the great bargains to be had on my Sale Page! So many people have bought tons of things, and I'm so grateful to be able to downsize my collection a little... thanks to all of you who have bought from me this week and last!

Hello friends! I have a really sweet co-worker… he’s an older gentleman, and earlier this month he took me to Applebee’s for lunch for my birthday! So I had to make him a quick card to say thanks.

I kept this really simple, die-cutting three times and layering for dimension with the new Twice the Thanks Die-Namics from My Favorite Things. Then just glued it over a few strips of washi tape, on a stitched die-cut panel. Easy-peasy!

DON’T FORGET my stamps and dies for sale over on my Sale Page! LOTS of great bargains to be had! And stayed tuned… I’ll probably be listing more things, but not until April.

Hello friends! I needed a birthday card this week for my Pastor’s wife, and have been so anxious to play with this new stencil I recently got from Simon Says Stamp, the Bouquet of Flowers. I HAD to buy it after I saw this darling card on Laura Bassen’s blog. I kind of ended up combining Laura’s card with this card from Debby Hughes, then used the current Color Throwdown #384 and came up with this…

Hi there, friends! A big thank you to those of you who left me comments the other day! It’s nice to know I still have some blog readers even though I’ve cut back on stamping and design team commitments. You really blessed my day!

This is really odd for me lately but I actually have another card to share already this week! Lately I’ve only been making one card a week, if that! But I have several birthdays coming up (including my Mom… eeep! THAT card has always got to be uber-special!) So here’s another card to share with you today, for my Aunt Phyllis who has a birthday this coming Monday!
